Definitions
- the invention relates to a spring hinge for glasses according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Spring hinges of the type mentioned here are known. They are used to resiliently resiliently connect stirrups with a middle part of glasses which comprises spectacle lenses.
- the spring hinges cause the temples to be applied to the head of a wearer of the glasses with a predeterminable force.
- the brackets can be pivoted from a first functional position, in which they rest on the middle part, into a second functional position, in which they are arranged approximately at right angles to the middle part. If the arms are pivoted outwards beyond the second functional position, a spring element is activated in the spring hinge, which pulls the arms back into the second functional position, so that the glasses are held securely.
- the spring element is accommodated in the interior of a housing of the spring hinge, namely in a recess in the housing, which also receives a hinge element which is held in the housing by a locking body.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a spring hinge of the type mentioned, which is simple in construction and does not have this disadvantage.
- a spring hinge which has the features mentioned in claim 1.
- the locking body of this spring hinge has a receiving area and the housing has a deformation area. This can be moved into the receiving area of the locking body.
- the spring hinge is characterized in that the receiving area is designed in such a way that twisting and pulling out of the blocking body from the recess are prevented. A double action is thus achieved here, which enables the hinge element to be securely anchored in the housing of the spring hinge without any additional measures being required.
- the deformation area makes the use of screws unnecessary, which considerably simplifies the assembly of the spring hinge.
- An exemplary embodiment of the spring hinge is preferred, which is characterized in that the deformation region is formed by at least one wall region of the housing, which is plastically deformable by means of a tool. This makes joining the parts of the spring hinge particularly easy.
- an embodiment of the spring hinge which is characterized in that the wall area is closed. This has the advantage that no contaminants can get inside the housing of the spring hinge, which could lead to wear and malfunctions.
- An exemplary embodiment is furthermore preferred, which is characterized in that the deformation region comprises two plastically deformable wall regions of the housing. It is therefore possible to make the spring hinge variable and to adapt the number of deformation areas, for example, to different load cases of the spring hinge.
- spring hinge which is characterized in that the plastically deformable wall area of the housing is thinner than the rest of its wall. This allows the deformation forces to be set and reduced to a minimum. As a result, deformation of the remaining spring hinge can be practically ruled out.
- the receiving area in the blocking body has at least one depression which can be introduced into the basic body of the blocking body and into which the deformation area engages. This configuration limits the range of movement when the deformation area is displaced and thus gives the possibility of ensuring a defined installation state. In addition, the deformation area cannot be easily penetrated with the tool.
- An exemplary embodiment of the spring hinge is also preferred, which is characterized in that the receiving area has at least one cutout that can be introduced into the base body of the locking body and that encompasses the deformation area on at least three sides.
- the locking body can be realized in different ways, for example having guide arms. It is possible to place the deformation area between the guide arms, which thus bear against the deformation area on two sides and thus prevent rotation of the locking body within the housing of the spring hinge.
- Another area of education Section lies against the deformation area and ensures that the locking body and thus the hinge element cannot be pulled out of the housing.

- Figure 19 shows a longitudinal section through the assembled spring hinge.
- Figure 1 shows a longitudinal section through a spring hinge 1 with a housing 3, which includes a recess 5.
- a hinge element 7 with a hinge eye 9, a spring element 11 designed here as a helical spring and a locking body 13 also referred to as a guide and locking part are accommodated in these. This is shown partly in section, so that a receiving area 17, which is introduced into the base body 15 of the blocking body and into which a deformation area 19 of the housing 3 is displaced, can be seen.
- a tool 21 is also indicated here, which comprises a mandrel 23.
- the receiving area 17 is implemented as a depression formed in the base body 15 of the blocking body 13, in which the deformation area 19 engages.
- the locking body 13 is held in the recess 5 such that it is axially secured on the one hand and on the other hand a rotation of the locking body 13 relative to the housing 3 is excluded.
- the spring hinge 1 can be connected via the hinge eye 9 to a hinge part, not shown here, which in turn has at least one hinge eye.
- Spring hinges are known in which the hinge element 7 has two hinge eyes arranged at a distance from one another.
- the exemplary embodiment shown here is provided with a hinge eye 9 which interacts, for example, with two hinge eyes of the hinge part which are arranged at a distance from one another, a screw penetrating the through opening 25 of the hinge eye 9 and corresponding through openings in the hinge eye or eyes of the hinge part.
- the housing 3 is part of a bracket 27 which is connected to a central part of a pair of glasses via the hinge part (not shown here).
- the temple 27 can be moved relative to the middle part from a first functional position, in which the temple 27 rests against the middle part, into a second functional position, in which the temple 27 is approximately perpendicular to the middle part of the glasses.
- the front side 29 of the housing 3, here also of the temple 27, rests on the hinge part or the central part of the glasses. If the bracket is pivoted further clockwise, the hinge element 7 is pulled out of the recess 5 of the housing 3 against the force of the spring element 11, the spring element 11 being compressed.
- the hinge element 7 has a guide region 31 which adjoins the hinge eye 9 and which passes through the locking body 13 and merges into a pin 33 which here penetrates the spring element 11.
- abutment 35 designed as a flat for the spring element 11, which is supported with its right end on the abutment 35 and with its left end on the locking body 13.
- FIG. 2 shows a cross section through the housing 3 along the line 11-11.
- the same parts are provided with the same reference numbers, so that reference is made to the explanations for FIG. 1.
- FIG. 2 shows that the outer surface 37 of the housing 3 and thus of the bracket 27 are circular in this area. Accordingly, the recess 5 is cylindrical.
- Two guide arms 39 and 41 can be seen here, which are arranged at a distance from one another and extend from the base body 15 of the locking body 13.
- the inner surfaces of the guide arms 39 and 41 are flat and arranged at such a distance that the guide region 31 of the hinge element 7, which is not shown in the illustration in FIG. 2, comes to rest here.
- FIG. 2 shows that the base body 15 of the locking body 13 has a through opening 43 which is arranged concentrically with the recess 5 and through which the pin 33 of the hinge element 7, not shown here, is guided.
- the locking body 13 thus guides the hinge element 7 on the one hand in the area of the passage opening 43 and on the other hand through the inner surfaces of the guide arms 39 and 41; hence the name of the guide sleeve.
- FIG. 3 shows the section shown in FIG. 2, but with the hinge element 7 inserted.
- the same parts are provided with the same reference numbers, so that reference is made to the description of FIGS. 1 and 2. It can be clearly seen in this sectional view that the distance between the guide arms 39 and 41 is selected such that the guide region 31 of the hinge element 7 is guided flatly, with the anchoring of the blocking body 13 causing the guide region 31 and thus the hinge element 7 to rotate is prevented within the recess 5; hence the name of the sealing sleeve.
- FIG. 4 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a spring hinge 1.
- the same parts are provided with the same reference numbers, so that reference is made to the description of the previous figures and only the differences from the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1 are dealt with here.

- FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment of a spring hinge 1.
- the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals, so that reference is made to the description of the previous figures.
- the housing 3 of the spring hinge 1 is formed by the bracket 27 of glasses.
- the exemplary embodiment of the spring hinge 1 shown in FIG. 5 is characterized in that the housing 3 is designed as a separate element which is applied to a bracket 27 (not shown here). Common procedures can be used such as soldering, welding, in particular electric welding, and the like are used.
- the deformation region 19 is formed by a plastically deformable wall region of the housing 3, which is thinner than the remaining wall 47 of the housing 3.
- the mandrel 23 of the tool 21 is therefore here cylindrical in regions , while the mandrel 23 in the exemplary embodiments according to FIGS. 1 and 4 can have a conical outer contour.
- the deformation region 19 is preferably also realized by a plastically deformable wall region which is thinner than the rest of the wall of the housing 3.
- FIGS. 1, 4 and 5 have in common that the receiving area 17 is arranged in the blocking body 13 in an annular area of the base body 15. From this, as explained, two guide arms 39 and 41 can emanate, which serve to guide the hinge element 7, in particular its guide area 31.
- the hinge element is guided exclusively through the blocking body 13. Due to the fact that the receiving area 17 is realized by a defined depression, which is, for example, conical, the blocking body 13 is prevented by the deformation area 19, which engages in the receiving area 17, both against rotation with respect to the housing 3 and with respect to an axial one Relocation secured. This also prevents the hinge element 7 from being pulled out of the recess 5 in the housing 3.
- FIG. 6 shows a modified exemplary embodiment of a spring hinge 1, which essentially corresponds to that shown in FIG. speaks.
- the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals, so that reference is made to the description of the previous figures.

- the other tread 53 lies behind the hinge element 7 and is therefore covered.
- the deformation area 19 of the housing 3 engages in a receiving area 17 of the locking body 13, which in turn is arranged in the annular area 49 of the base body 15.
- the abutment 35 for the spring element 11 is not realized by flattening the end of the pin 33, but rather by compressing it.
- the deformation region 19 is again arranged in the immediate vicinity of the annular region 49, specifically between the guide arms 31 and 41, of which the front guide arm 41 is visible here.
- Treads 51 and 53 are again provided on the guide arms and are arranged to the right and left of the hinge element 7.
- the deformation area 19 was provided on the top of the housing 3. It can be assumed that the spring hinges 1 each have a single deformation area 19 which interacts with a corresponding receiving area 17 in the locking body 13.
- FIG. 9 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a spring hinge in longitudinal section, the section plane being rotated by 90 ° with respect to that selected in FIGS. 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
- the same parts are provided with the same reference numbers, so that reference is made to the description of the preceding figures.
- the housing 3 has two deformation regions 19 and 19 ', which are provided on the right and left of the housing 3 and cooperate with corresponding receiving regions 17 and 17' in the base body 15 of the locking body 13.
- the receiving areas 17, 17 ' are arranged in the annular area 49 of the locking body 13, which in turn can have two guide arms 39 and 41 which cooperate with the guide area 31 of the hinge element 7.
- Figure 10 shows a blocking body 13 in a perspective view.
- the annular region 49 of the base body 15 and the guide arms 39 and 41 with the inner surfaces F1 and F2 acting as guide surfaces can be clearly seen here.
- the receiving area 17 which is designed here as a depression and has an essentially conical contour.
- the through hole 43 which penetrates the annular region 49 has a diameter which is somewhat larger than the distance between the first guide arm 39 and the second guide arm 41. This results in a groove 55 or 57 on the inner surface of the guide arms.
- FIG. 11 shows an embodiment of a locking body 13, the guide arms 39 and 41 of which are shorter than is the case with the embodiment according to FIG. 10.
- the diameter of the through-opening 43 is smaller than the distance between the guide arms 39, 41, so that their inner sides form plane guide surfaces which interact with the guide region 31 of a hinge element 7, not shown here.
- the receiving area 17 can be clearly seen, which is arranged in the annular area 49 of the base body 15 of the hinge element 13 and has a frustoconical contour.
- FIG. 12 shows a longitudinal section through the embodiment of the locking body 13 shown in FIG. 11.
- the inner surface of the guide arm 39 is clearly visible here, as is the frustoconical contour of the receiving area 17, which is arranged in the annular area 49 of the base body 15 of the locking body 13.
- the inner surface of the through opening 43 serves to guide the hinge element 7, the pin 33 of the hinge element 7 being arranged and guided in the region of the through opening 43.
- Figure 13a shows a modified embodiment of a locking body 13.
- the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals, so that reference is made to the description of the figures above.
- the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. from that no receiving area 17 is provided in the annular area 49. Rather, this is formed by the free space between the guide arms 39 and 41, which lie on the right and left against a deformation region 19 (not shown here) and thus prevent the locking body 13 from rotating in a recess 5 in a housing 3.
- the locking body 13 is prevented from being pulled out of a recess 5 of a spring hinge 1 by the front side 59 of the annular region 49 of the base body 13 facing the viewer.
- the blocking body 13 shown in FIG. 13a thus has a receiving region 17 which is located between the guide arms 39 and 41 and which is formed by the cutout between the guide arms 39 and 41. This engages around a deformation area 19 of a spring hinge 1 on three sides, namely with the guide arms 39 and 41 and with the front side 59 of the annular area 49 of the locking body 13.
- Figure 13b shows a modified embodiment of a locking body 13.
- the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals, so that in this respect reference is made to the description of the previous figures, in particular to Figure 13a.
- the base body 15 of the locking body 13 has two guide arms 39 and 41 with a receiving area 17 lying between them, which is realized here as a flattened portion A of part of the annular area 49. This lies between the two guide arms 39 and 41 and merges via a step S into the peripheral surface U of the annular region 49.
- a deformation region 19 comes to rest on the flattened area A, so that the blocking body 13 can no longer be rotated within the recess 5 of a housing 3.
- the deformation area 19 also strikes against step S, so that the blocking body 13 can no longer be pulled out of the recess 5.
- the locking body 13 has a receiving area 17 which, in conjunction with a deformation area 19, leads to the locking body 13 being secured both against rotation and against axial displacement within the housing 3 of a spring hinge 1.
- the receiving area 17 can be produced relatively simply, namely by removing material from the peripheral surface U of the base body 15 of the locking body 13, for example by a milling or grinding process.
- the flattening A can also be taken into account in a molding process during the manufacture of the blocking body 13 and molded into the base body 15.
- Figure 14 shows a modified embodiment of a locking body 13 in longitudinal section.
- a guide arm 39, the annular region 49 of the base body 15 of the blocking body 13 and the through opening 43 penetrating this region can be clearly seen here. that a deformation area 19 can intervene here.
- This configuration of the receiving area 17 also means that, if a deformation area 19 intervenes here, the locking body 13 is secured both against rotation within a recess 5 of a housing 3 of a spring hinge 1 and against pulling out of the locking body 13 and thus a hinge element 7 from the recess 5 of the spring hinge 1.
- FIG. 15a shows a perspective illustration of a modified exemplary embodiment of a locking body 13, which is similar to that in FIG 11 is formed.
- the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals, so that reference is made to the preceding figures and their description.
- the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 15a is characterized by running surfaces 51 and 53 which are formed by material strips which are arranged on the ends of the guide arms 39 and 41 facing away from the annular region 49.
- the locking body 13 is preferably formed in one piece. However, it is also conceivable to fasten the running surfaces 51 and 53 at the ends of the guide arms 39 and 41 in a suitable manner, for example by welding or soldering them firmly.
- a receiving area 17 is realized in the annular area 49. However, it is also conceivable to select the recess lying between the guide arms 39 and 41 as the receiving region 17, as was explained with reference to FIG. 13.
- FIG. 15b shows a perspective view of a further exemplary embodiment of a locking body which is modified compared to that in FIG. 15a.
- the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals, so that reference is made to the previous figure.
- the blocking body 13 shown in FIG. 15b has two guide arms 39 and 41 which start from an annular region 49 and are provided with running surfaces 51 and 53 at their ends facing away from the annular region 49. These are connected to one another in their upper area by a material bridge B, so that ultimately a U-shaped front side is formed which forms a housing. se 3 completes, in which the locking body 13 is introduced. Otherwise, the material bridge B contributes to the stabilization of the locking body 13 because the ends of the guide arms 39 and 41 facing away from the annular region 49 of the base body 15 are connected to one another.
- the annular region 49 has no receiving region. Rather, it is also provided here that the deformation region 19 of the housing 3, not shown here, comes to lie between the guide arms 39 and 41. This prevents twisting of the locking body 13 within the housing 3, which is not shown here. In addition, the deformation region 19 is arranged between the guide arms 39 and 41 such that it rests on the front side 59 of the annular region 49. This also prevents an axial displacement of the locking body 13.
- FIG. 15 b also shows the through-opening 43 which penetrates the annular region 49 of the base body 15 and the wall of which serves to guide the pin 33 of the hinge element 7 when it is inserted into the locking body 13.
- FIG. 16 shows an exploded view of a spring housing 1 with a hinge element 7, a locking body 13 and with a spring element 11, which in turn is designed as a helical spring.
- the spring hinge 1 merges into a bracket 27 of glasses.
- a line 61 indicates that the spring hinge 1 can be attached to the bracket 27. But it is also possible that Insert recess 5 of the spring hinge 1 directly into the end of a bracket 27, so that no transition can be seen between the spring hinge 1 or its housing 3 and the rest of the bracket 27 and line 61 is therefore omitted.
- a recess 63 can be seen, in the area of which the thickness of the wall 47 is reduced and a deformation area 19 is formed. With a correspondingly thin wall 47, the recess 63 can be dispensed with. However, it is helpful because when the housing is finished it is readily apparent where the deformation area 19 is arranged and where the tool 21 has to be used in order to securely anchor the locking body 13 in the recess 5 of the housing 3 of the spring hinge 1 ,
- the hinge element 7 has a hinge eye 9, which is penetrated by a through opening 25, and also a guide region 31 which comes to rest in the free space of the locking body 13 between the guide arms 39 and 41.
- the base body 15 of the locking body 13 is penetrated by the pin 33 of the hinge element 7. This protrudes through the through opening 43 in the annular region 49 of the locking body 13 and extends through the spring element 11.
- the end 65 of the pin 33 facing away from the hinge eye 9 is deformed after the locking body 13 and the spring element 11 have been pushed on, so that a for example, by means of a flattened abutment 35, which was explained on the basis of the preceding figures and serves to clamp the spring element 11 between the locking body 13 and the abutment 35.
- the assembly unit consisting of hinge element 7, locking body 13 and spring element 11 can be pushed into the recess 5 after the pre-assembly. Then the deformation region 19 is deformed such that it is in the recess 5 in the housing 3 engages and here, for example, is shifted into the receiving area 17, which lies between the guide arms 39 and 41 and which is delimited to the right by the annular area 49 or its end face 59.
- the locking body 13 By moving the deformation region 19 into the receiving region 17, the locking body 13 is anchored in the interior of the spring hinge 1 and secured against twisting and against being pulled out of the recess 5. This also prevents the hinge element 7 from being pulled out of the recess.
- a depression 63 can be made in the wall 47.
- the deformation area 19 is realized by a closed wall area which is plastically deformable and whose wall thickness is preferably thinner than the wall 47 of the housing 3. The reduced wall thickness can ensure that the forces for moving the deformation region 19 into the receiving region 17 do not become too great. A deformation of the spring hinge 1 as a whole can thus be avoided.
- a locking body 13 can also be used, as was explained with reference to FIG. 10 or 11, or as shown in FIG. It is therefore possible to lock the body 13 with min at least to provide a recess which forms the receiving region 17, the recess being able to be implemented by a depression or by a bore.
- two deformation areas and receiving areas arranged on the side of the spring hinge 1 can also be provided.
- the blocking body 13 with running surfaces 51 and 53, which was explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8 and 15.
- Figure 17 shows a spring hinge in an exploded view with a housing 3, which is formed separately from a bracket of glasses and can be attached to them. Parts that have already been explained with reference to the previous figures are provided with the same reference numbers, so that reference is made to the previous figures in order to avoid repetition.
- the hinge element 7, the locking body 13, as was explained with reference to FIG. 15b, and a spring element 11 are arranged in alignment with one another. In parallel, the housing 3 is located further back.
- the pin 33 of the hinge element 7 engages through the through opening 43 in the base body 15 of the locking body 13 and penetrates the spring element 11 designed as a helical spring. In order to secure this on the pin 33, the end 65 of the pin 33 is deformed, for example pressed flat, by a To implement abutment 35 for the spring element 11.
- the hinge element 7 is then - as in the other embodiments - together with the locking body 13 and the Fe- the element 11 is at least partially inserted into the recess 5 of the housing 3; the hinge eye 9 of the hinge element 7 remains outside the housing 3.
- Figure 18 shows a spring hinge 1 in an exploded view, but here the preassembled assembly of hinge element 7, locking body 13 and spring element 11 is already assembled.
- the end 65 of the pin 33 which is not visible here, is compressed in the longitudinal direction in order to form the abutment 35 and to secure the spring element.
- the housing 3 of the spring hinge 1 is shown separately from the preassembled assembly.
- Figure 19 shows the spring hinge shown in Figures 17 and 18 in the assembled state, the housing 3 being shown in longitudinal section.
- the hinge element 7 is partially pushed into the recess 5 in the housing 3, namely to such an extent that the hinge eye 9 protrudes.
- the locking body 13 is locked in the interior of the housing 3 in such a way that it is fixed on the one hand in the axial direction and on the other hand cannot be rotated within the housing 3.
- a deformation region 19 of the housing 3 which here is arranged, for example, on its underside, is pressed into the interior of the recess 5 such that it bears against the front 59 of the locking body 3.
- the deformation region 19 extends as far as the guide arms 39 and 41, of which the front guide arm 41 is visible here.
- a rotation of the locking body 13 is prevented by the lower edges of the guide arms 39 and 41 abutting against the deformation area 19.
- the housing 3 is provided on its underside with welding nipples 69 and 71, which serve to fasten the housing 3 to a bracket (not shown here) of glasses by means of electric welding.
- welding nipples 69 and 71 serve to fasten the housing 3 to a bracket (not shown here) of glasses by means of electric welding.
- other fastening options such as soldering or the like are also possible.
- the hinge element 7 is provided with a flattened area 67 in order to ensure that the deformation area 19 does not press on the hinge element 7 and limits its freedom of movement.
- the annular region 49 measured in the radial direction, extends beyond the flattened region 67. If the housing 3 is pressed into the receiving region 17 of the locking body 3 in the deformation region 19, then the region 67 of the hinge element 7 is not blocked by the deformation region 19 of the housing 3, but rotation of the hinge element 7 in the recess 5 is prevented.
- the front side 59 of the annular region 49 of the locking body 13 serves as an axial stop for the deformation region 19.
- a spring hinge 1 can be realized in different ways, which comprises a locking body 13 with a receiving area 17 and a housing 3 with a deformation area 19.
- the locking body 13 can be implemented in different ways, as can the associated receiving area 17, which is a or can comprise several recesses or bores or a recess which lies between two guide arms 39 and 41.
- the deformation area has at least one wall area which is plastically deformable and can be moved into the receiving area 17. In this way, it is easily possible, in particular without using any screws, to anchor the hinge element 7 in the interior of the housing 3 by means of the locking body 13, the locking body 13 being secured both against rotation and against being pulled out of the recess 5 of the housing 3.
- the locking body 13 has at least one guide surface F1, which cooperates with a guide region 31 of the hinge element 7 in such a way that, when the locking body 13 is secured against rotation and axially fixed, rotation and an excessive axial displacement of the hinge element 7 can also be prevented.
- the guide arms 39 and 41 each have a guide surface F1 and F2 on their inner sides, between which the guide region 31 of the hinge element 7 is arranged. The guide surfaces allow axial displacement of the hinge element 7 over a certain distance.
- the wall region of the housing 3 is preferably formed continuously in the deformation region 19, so that the interior of the housing 3 is protected against the ingress of contaminants. In principle, however, it is possible to realize the deformation region 19 through the edge of a hole made in the wall 47 of the housing 3.
- the deformation region 19 can be provided on the upper side of the housing 3, but also on the lower side thereof. It is also conceivable to provide a deformation region 19 in the region of at least one of the side walls of the housing 3. It also becomes clear that a single deformation area can be sufficient for a spring hinge, but that it is also possible to realize a plurality of deformation areas, possibly opposite one another in pairs.
- the basic principle pursued here of securing the hinge element 7 against rotation and against being pulled out of the housing 3 can be implemented both with spring hinges 1, the housing 3 of which is part of the bracket, and with spring hinges 1, which are a separate housing 3 have that is applied to a temple of glasses. If the housing 3 is to be welded on, it can be provided with one or more welding nipples in the area of the contact surface with which it rests on the bracket, which was explained by way of example in FIG. 19.
